Ooh, good point. That may be the strongest evidence yet of a hoax.
There is still one other problem I have, why would someone this capable
of model making feel the need to create a hoax to get attention? If
these same models had been posted as MOCs, we would be singing praises
to their creator, instead, if this is a hoax, when it is finally put in
the grave, we will all just end up viewing the creator with disdain (of
course he could have stolen some pictures of someone elses creations and
doctored them into a fake LEGO add).

| I'm afraid that I must go with the hoax theory. Here's why: 1) This appears to be Paul Rutenberg's first ever Lugnet post, and he has a hotmail address to boot. 2) His homepage (once translated with babelfish) is decidedly non-Lego.
